Americans top Brazil for title. Did former Cal star Morgan do enough to earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic team?
Former Cal standout Alex Morgan did not score the goal in the United States' 1-0 victory over Brazil in the Concacaf Gold Cup final on Sunday, but if you look closely you will notice the role she played in Lindsey Horan's goal.
When Emily Fox's long pass off a set piece headed into the box, Morgan used positioning and an inconspicuous nudge to prevent Brazil defender Antonia from getting very off the ground . That in turn allowed Horan to get above the crowd and head the ball into the goal in the first minute of stoppage time in the first half.
